6 Top Tips for Staying Visible When Running Alongside Traffic If you enjoy running, you understand the importance of making sure you are as visible as possible when running near traffic. It is imperative to make sure you are noticed so you are as safe as possible when you are running alongside cars. Here are some things you can do to stand out in the crowd: Fluorescent Colors - You don't want to blend in with your surroundings. If you wear green, black, brown, or blue you may not be noticed. Brightly colored jerseys, such as those in bright orange, red, neon yellow, lime green, or hot pink are going to help you stand out while running during the day. Running Toward Traffic - You should adhere to traffic regulations, which require pedestrians to walk facing traffic. This means that you should run against traffic and not with it. This will give you the chance to get out of the way if you see a vehicle headed toward you. When you are running with traffic, you won't see what is approaching you from behind. When Possible, Run on the Sidewalk - When you can, you should avoid the street and run on the sidewalk. You are farther from traffic and also farther from harm. Being on the sidewalk helps you stay away from cars. Newsletter 6
7 Running After Dark - If you are running when it is dark, you need to make sure you are standing out. You must wear reflective tape on your clothing, especially across your chest and across your back. Reflectors on your shoes also help. Reflective bands can be worn on the ankles and the wrists. A safety vest that is brightly colored and has reflectors already attached could be beneficial. You should take along a flashlight and keep it turned on and pointed down toward the ground as you run, so drivers will notice you. A flashing LED light attached to your clothing will help you stand out and be noticed as well. Don't Run Alone - Whenever possible, run with a buddy for added safety. Two people are always going to be noticed much more quickly than a single individual. Running along with someone else in bright clothes will help you get noticed. Run in Areas That Are Lit - If you are running before dawn or after dark, you need to run in areas that are well-lit. Choose streets that have adequate lighting. Don't run through communities that you aren't familiar with and make sure you know the streets where you are for added safety. Adhere to Traffic Laws - It is essential to your safety to know the traffic laws and to adhere to them. Your goal is to be visible, so that means don't dart in and around traffic. When at an intersection, treat it like you would in a vehicle, look both ways and proceed when it s clear. You should never run between cars. Always adhere to traffic signals. You must take responsibility for your safety. As a runner, you know that you have to take safety seriously. Doing everything that you can to stand out and be noticed is key to staying safe when you are out for a run. Always be alert and proactive when you are heading out for a run. Make sure you buy a brightly-colored jacket or a jersey that you can wear when you go for a run. Stay current on traffic laws and be familiar with them so you can adhere to them for your added safety. Always be aware of your surroundings so you can avoid dangers.

9 2018 LIRRC Race Teams One of the major changes in LIRRC was the revitalization of our race teams. We were always competitive, but Bill Schroeder, Dave Frisone, and Marie Brewer have made it their business to promote and increase our participation by signing up more Race Team members, making us real contenders. Race Team members score points for the club by running key races designated by LITF, known as the 2018 Grand Prix Races. In 2018 our commitment continues to grow and we expect a great year! You do not have to run every race, and regardless of ability, you can help our teams! The competition is friendly, and it s a great way to challenge yourself and run with your fellow club members. Of course, with everything, there is paperwork. Joining the race team requires joining LITF and designating The Long Island Road Runners as your affiliation (#17). If you need help with this, please contact the captains. Their addresses are as follows: Race Team members will score points towards the Spirit of the Duck awards a LIRRC club contest which is separate from the Grand Prix competition between the race teams. Please contact your Race Captain to get an updated scoring sheets, so you can see our team results as the season unfolds. The Grand Prix results are listed on the LITF web site and are updated after each event. The URL for that site is: Longisland.usatf.org. If you join our race team, please attend the races and score some points for LIRRC! Your participation is what will keep us competitive! IT S NEVER TOO LATE TO JOIN OUR RACE TEAM! THE COMPETITION IS ONGOING, AND YOU WILL SCORE POINTS RIGHT AWAY WITH YOUR FIRST RACE AS A MEMBER! BILL BILL_SCHROEDER@VERIZON.NET DAVE WE5RUN4FUN@AOL.COM MARIE MARIE9105@AOL.COM Newsletter 9
